1. Yes. They should.
They spill as much oil as they sell, and they don't clean it up.

3. It seems to me these corporate criminals have nothing to stop them.
You can fine them and the profits far out way the the costs of the fine,and god forbid they put any of them in jail.If the average person was treated the same way,people could rob $1,000,000 from a bank and if caught be fined $50.What would be the reason to not rob and break the law?
